I am just about done planning my 55 gallon, and just wanted some of you wonderful people to have a look and let me know if I am missing anything. I posted a few weeks ago in the newbie section when I hadn't sorted everything out so now that I have it sorted, I thought it would be a good chance to get a final once over so I can get this aquarium running!
55 gallon
1 Penguin 350b biowheel
1 Eheim 2213 classic cannister
200 watt Eheim Jager heater
2 light fixtures 19 watt bulbs? I likely need to replace these as they are a few years old
Pool Filter Sand for substrate
Stock list:
2x German Blue Rams
20x Cardinal Tetra
7x Corydoras
7x otos
Plants:
Root tabs to start fertilization
Java fern
Java moss
possibly Amazon Sword
Crypts of some kind
I am unsure of the plant list as I have never planted a tank before. Also, I am wondering if a BN pleco is a good thought to help keep things tidy. I do like the idea of having some form of a cleanup crew, hence the otos.
Any feedback or advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
